Interface com.sun.java.swing.ListCellRenderer

public interface ListCellRenderer
Identifies components that can be used as "rubber stamps" to paint the cells in a JList. For example, to use a JLabel as a ListCellRenderer, you would write something like this: 
 class MyCellRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer {
     public MyCellRenderer() {
         setOpaque(true);
     }
     public Component getListCellRendererComponent(
         JList list, 
         Object value, 
         int index, 
         boolean isSelected, 
         boolean cellHasFocus) 
     {
         setText(value.toString());
         setBackground(isSelected ? Color.red : Color.white);
         setForeground(isSelected ? Color.white : Color.black);
         return this;
     }
 }

Methods

o getListCellRendererComponent 
 public abstract Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list,
                                                        Object value,
                                                        int index,
                                                        boolean isSelected,
                                                        boolean cellHasFocus)
Return a component that has been configured to display the specified value. That component's paint method is then called to "render" the cell. If it is necessary to compute the dimensions of a list because the list cells do not have a fixed size, this method is called to generate a component on which getPreferredSize can be invoked.

Parameters:
list - The JList we're painting.
value - The value returned by list.getModel().getElementAt(index).
index - The cells index.
isSelected - True if the specified cell was selected.
cellHasFocus - True if the specified cell has the focus.
Returns:
A component whose paint() method will render the specified value.
